YumSugar Gift Guide: The Francophile

November 28, 2008

With its creamy cheese, world-renowned wines, classic cooking techniques, and rich culinary history, it's hard not to love the fabulous country that is France. Know someone who longs to live near the Louvre? Take her there with a bag of imported fleur de sel and a block of foie gras. Encourage her to cook like an authentic French woman with Anne Willan's The Country Cooking of France, this year's winner of the James Beard international cookbook award.

Check out the entire selection of French finds below or check out HolidaySugar for other gift ideas.

Lizzylu, that's super expensive! :jawdrop: I found some much cheaper in here, and it always takes me a long time to use the whole box. Love it though, it makes such a difference.

Great ideas. I've almost ordered the croissants several times. Ina convinced me to buy fleur de sel. I'm all for splurging, but sticking the $18 salt in my cart was a little depressing.

i love this book. i think that sometimes we want to expand our repetoire and this is just the best way to do it. although i don't eat a lot of stuff that's used in french cooking, i do LOVE wine and cheese, so anything that can enhance that enjoyment is good for me.

Love ALL the products listed here ... they all look like perfect gifts for my dad. I bought him a pretty good sized bloc of fois gras last year so need to come up with something different this year! The funny thing was that he was saving it for the evening (I gave it to him in the morning) and while he was away, I hid it somewhere in the house and he came back, couldn't find it, and went MENTAL!!! :rotfl: It was hilarious.
